West Ham have agreed a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for defender Thilo Kehrer.
The Hammers will sign the German defender for €12million (£10.1m) sources have told football.london, with the medical to take place before official confirmation from both clubs.
Interest for Kehrer was high, with Sevilla particularly keen, but it now seems that the east London outfit have won the race for the highly touted centre-back.

The Hammers are in dire need of a central defender after they started the 2022/23 Premier League season with only one fit centre-back. Angelo Ogbonna, Craig Dawson and Nayef Aguerd have all started the season on the sidelines, although the latter two are nearing a first-team comeback.
Ben Johnson has had to deputise in central defence for West Ham in the opening two Premier League games and Issa Diop has since left for newly promoted Fulham. Meanwhile, the east London outfit have had a bid rejected for Club Brugge midfielder Hans Vanaken, sources have told football.london.
